All these scumbag companies are making it easier and easier for me to avoid their products.
But they are making it harder to have products too.
You just have to get creative and shop around. I've had a full journey since the beginning of Android starting with HTC. Used Sony, Samsung, Razer... all went to shit one way or another.
Nowadays very happy with Redmi and Oneplus. I got a Redmi watch and it's battery lasts nearly a month!
I loved Redmi last time I bought one, but now they've basically made it impossible to root or mod their devices. So I bought a used Pixel and donated my newish Redmi to my GF.
I've pretty much gone back to my 2000s era mindset of "I don't need a smart phone when I have PCs in front of me at work and at home."
But really it's more like I already have an old smart phone but hate using it and never want to have to upgrade. We'll see what Motorola can make happen.
It is only a couple years ago that I bought my first iPhone. I still hate it.
